![]() ![]() Too often, folks talks as if they were making speeches or delivering lines in a high school play. In addition, at times I felt as if the dialog was just awful. It bears only a very superficial semblance to the facts and it's a shame, as the true story of Emperor Commodus would make for an exciting film. As a retired history teacher, I know that much of the history shown in this film is wildly inaccurate. If you look at my summary, however, I say that the film is a bit disappointing as well. You really have to see this film and it will knock your socks off. And, with some spectacular stunts and TONS of blood, it is brutal-but spectacularly brutal. I saw a documentary about how they made this film long before I saw the actual movie and it's amazing to see how they used CGI to construct an enormous FULL stadium even though most of it wasn't real! The costumes, props, chariots and trappings were also gorgeous-as good as anything you'll ever see in a film about ancient Rome.
